“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”- Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV
Since there is nothing on this earth that could possibly compare to the power & majesty of Almighty God, I think most followers of Christ underestimate what He is able to do. According to His Word, it seems clear that there is NOTHING He cannot do either for us or against our enemies. Compared to God our mental faculties are rather puny. We cannot even in our wildest imaginings understand all that our Lord is capable of. He does as He so chooses & everything is does is orchestrated for His children’s ultimate good.
If we have dedicated our lives to follow Him, then that power that flows from God is within us. We don’t take advantage of it because we don’t realize it’s there. Now this doesn’t mean we are all superheroes with limitless power. That would no doubt bring catastrophic results due to man’s ego, self-centeredness & penchant for making poor decisions. What we do is to be to the glory of God alone & for the advancement of His kingdom. We are to act humbly, with kindness, mercy & compassion towards all. There is no room for personal agendas or a self-serving attitude.
The glory of Christ & His church is meant to be carried on throughout all generations. God’s Kingdom is eternal. It’s like the fabled ‘Never-Ending Story’ … it just goes on & on forever. And forever is a very long time. Study God’s Word to find out all that He can do & stand on His promises that we might live without fear in a world that breeds chaos. Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.
